VILLA WITH POOL OVERLOOKING THE ADRIATIC SEA, BETWEEN SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA AND CIOLO – SALENTO, APULIA

The Villa overlooking the sea located in one of the most spectacular settings in Salento.

The 200-square-meter covered Villa is nestled in the Macchia Mediterranea, on a 6,000-square-meter plot sloping toward the Adriatic Sea, indented by terraces bordered by typical dry stone walls, located in the Otranto – Santa Maria di Leuca Natural Park.

The Villa for sale is on two levels, which follow the contours of the land. The floor on the upper level consists of 1 open plan Living and Dining Room, 1 Kitchen, 3 sea view bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (including 1 en suite), 1 hallway. From the living room you can exit to the terrace in front of the house with a sea view, or to the back of the Villa, where there is a pergola, also with a sea view. Outside and in front of the Villa, there is a space that can be equipped with a gazebo, sun loungers or a table and chairs for outdoor dining, as well as the pergola at the back.

The floor on the lower level consists of a Living Room with Open Space Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms both with En-suite Bathroom and an outdoor porch with sea view. The two levels are not communicating from the inside. Both have private and independent access. Therefore, they can be used as two separate housing units.
The exterior of the Villa is entirely covered with local stone. Which makes it perfectly in harmony with its natural surroundings. On the side terrace there is an outdoor Barbecue with all the necessary space to be set up as a living area with gazebo, table, chairs or sunbeds to relax surrounded by nature and pleasant Mediterranean scents.

There is a swimming pool in the garden with a breathtaking sea view. The Villa faces south – east, an ideal location for watching the sunrise in the morning, when the landscape around is colored in shades that slowly change from blue, to pink before catching sight of the sun as it rises on the horizon. A magical place that provides spectacular views. On northerly days, when the sky is clear and blue, the mountains of Albania and the nearby Greek islands, located only two hours away by boat, can be seen in the distance. In August, however, after sunset, the full moon rises on the horizon line, bigger, redder and more beautiful than ever.

The entire property as well as the surrounding ones fall within the Otranto – Santa Maria di Leuca – Bosco di Tricase Regional Natural Park. Therefore, since it is a protected part of the land, nothing will be built beyond what is already there, and the land will remain unchanged in all its beauty and authenticity.

The entire property that stretches in front of the Villa and descends to the sea, is characterized by the presence of terraces bordered by the typical dry stone walls of Salento. They are presented as real gardens that can be used in functional, creative and original ways. One can create terraced gardens with typical Mediterranean plants and succulents, and create a nature trail within it, dedicate some of the spaces to setting up relaxation corners, with hammocks, wooden seats, and shade cloths where one can practice yoga or spend pleasant evenings in the moonlight. In fact, in this stretch of coastline, as there are few buildings and many uninhabited and wild spaces, it is possible to gaze at the sky and stars, especially on the night of San Lorenzo, without the hassle of lights that normally obstruct the view. A tratturo, that is, an old path typically found in the Salento countryside, leads to the sea. If you are a lover of trekking, there are several routes in this area that alternate between walking on the coast overlooking the sea or in the countryside along sheep-tracks.

In addition, there are two cisterns for drinking water supply, which can then be filled by tanker truck. The property is accessed from the main road, down a short dirt road, at the end of which there is a parking lot. From that point, one proceeds to the Villa via a stone staircase, bordered by dry stone walls and terraced flowerbeds on both sides, characterized by the presence of Macchia Mediterranea, a few olive trees,palms, prickly pears and other succulents.
